In ancient Egypt, people did not only mummify humans—they also mummified animals. Animals were very special to the Egyptians because they believed many gods could appear in animal form. Cats, dogs, birds, crocodiles, and even fish were carefully wrapped and preserved. Some animals were beloved pets, mummified so they could join their owners in the afterlife. Others were offered as gifts to the gods, like tiny mummified birds given to the god Thoth. These animal mummies teach us a lot about daily life in ancient Egypt and show how deeply the Egyptians respected and admired the creatures around them.
